National leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Asiwaju Bola Tinubu has revealed that Yemi Osinbajo was ‘a bit hesitant’ when he (Tinubu) asked him to be President Muhammadu Buhari’s running mate in the 2015 presidential election.
The former Governor of Lagos State made this known in ‘Against the Run of Play’, a book written by Chairman of the ThisDay Editorial Board, Olusegun Adeniyi.
According to Tinubu, Osinbajo told him to first inform the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God, RCCG, Pastor Enoch Adeboye before he agrees to run with Buhari.
“He was a bit hesitant as he asked me to go and tell Pastor Adeboye. I replied by telling him that he needed to inform Pastor Adeboye himself, after all, there had been times when if we needed to see Pastor Adeboye, he was the one who facilitated it.
“I reminded him that since the final choice was not for me to make, I should not go to Pastor Adeboye until after the announcement of his name.”, Tinubu said.
